Well-known Peptide Families

Peptides are chains of amino acids which form a major component of proteins. They are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including cell signaling, metabolic regulation, and immune response. Well-known peptide families, such as the insulin-like growth factor, angiotensin, and bombesin peptides, are of great importance to the understanding of many diseases and have led to a variety of treatments and therapies. Their importance and usability have recently expanded to include potential anti-cancer, anti-inflammation, and anti-aging properties.
